Advert from the premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles, California, USA. Click to see enlargement. Here is a (work-in-progress) list of the original roadshow runs of Stanley Kramer’s epic large-format comedy "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". The running time for these presentations varied depending on when it opened in a given market. The earlier in the run the film opened in a given market, the longer the running time. The general-release version was even shorter than the roadshow version(s).
